FELL 10 HIS DEATH
1 STEAMER DECK
Struck on a Trunk
And Broke His
Neck.
JAPANESE IS KILLED
WHILE BOARDING SHIP
Did Not Heed the Warning of Ame
rica Mam's Cheif Officer
--Was Bound For
Home.
While boarding tlio steamship Am
erica Maru for Yokohama ihocKy after
9 o'clock this morning, Nakamira To
radza, a Japanese, slipped from the
rail and fell headlong on the deck,
striking his head on the sharp corner
of a trunk and Instantly breaking hit
neck.
The chief ofrtcer of the steamship
witnessed the accident as did many
Oriental patsengers on the after main
deck of the America Maru and numer
ous stevedores, passengers and offi
cials on the wharf. The ship's sur
geon was Immediately summoned anil
made an examination. Ho found that
Toradza had broken two of the ver
tebrae of the neck and had fractured
the Bkull over the left eye. The coro
ner was at once telephoned for and the
body, which was placed under a tar
paulin on the after hatch while wait
ing for the wagon, was removed to tho
morgue.
Nakamura Toradza was about 33
jeaiH of age and had been In this coun
try a little over two and a half years,
ns a laborer on a sugar plantation on
this Island. He was going homo to
Japan, had procured his ticket' and.
with one small article of baggage and
a number of bottles of soda water "on
a string, was stepping aboard the ves
sel which was to take him to Yokoha
ma when he missed his footing and
met a sudden death.
Following the' accident there was
much excited talk among the Japan
ese steerage passengers as to where
the responsibility for their fellow
countryman's death was to be placed.
It Is usual for the Oriental steerage
passengers to be put aboard In a great
hurijy. There are generally n large
number of them and they require con
siderable attention from (he ofllcers of
the vessel, as there Is always a scram
ble In the showing of tickets nnd the
getting aboard of baggage.
When the Japanese began to gp
aboard this mornlng.a broad gangway
was lard from the wharf to the rnll of
the vessel near the after hatch. At
first, theie was no way for Intending
passengers to alight on the main deck
r from the gangway where It rested on
' the rail, except for them to Jump down
three or four feet.
Toradza was evidently In a hurry to
go aboard for he rushed up the gang
way and started to spring to tho deck.
The chief officer shouted to him and to
others who were following to stay
where they were until boxes were
procured to form steps from the rail
to the deck. Toradza either failed to
understand, although the order of tho
chief officer was Interpreted by a Ja
panese quartermaster, or else Ignored
the warning, for, with both hands full
of Ills baggage, he jumped. He was
hampered by his baggage, however,
nnd fell as above reported, breaking
his neck.
Witnesses other than Japanese pas
sengers, say that no one could possibly
be blamed for tho nccldent as Toradza
ought to have waited until the boxes
had been arranged on tho deck.
When the doctor was called, the un
fortunate man was still breathing, -although
he expired within a minute or
two.

This morning. Chief Justice Frear
reported to High Sheriff Drown that
his place on Tantalus bad been entered
and, many articles of value removed
therefrom. Lieutenant Leslie of the
Mounted Patrol was sent up this morn
ing to Investigate and although ho
made Inquiries In many different lo

nothing that might lead to the arrest
of the guilty party or parties.
Judge Frear was up on Tantalus.
March 18 nnd at that time, everything
was intact. He went up again on Wed
nesday and then found that the house
had been entered during the Interim.
One of the windows had been smashed,
the fastening -reached and the placo
opened. A Quantity of crockery, sll
er plated spoons, knives and forks, a
brass lamp, a quantity of canned goods
and a lot of other stuff had been taken.

The annual report In printed form

Manager Wm. Stodart s report occu
pies nine pages. His Incumbency criv
(-red nine months previous to datn if
report. He Bays at the outset:
"The past year has been noteworthy
In two respects. We havo had excep
tionally abundant rains well distribu
ted throughout the year, and the
weather conditions generally havo
been ravorable. On the other hand,
labor conditions, until late in tho year,
were at, their worst'
Tho storm water Bavcd with the res

Prices or material and supplies also
advanced excessively."
Irrigation Equipment.
Mr. Stodart. however, reports Im
proved conditions the latter part or
tho year, with a prospect of 'material
reductions in expense the ensuing
year. Ho goes into details of about
fifteen reservoirs having storage -a-paclty
of 481 1-2 million gallons. Tin
reservoirs cover 115 acres of land. A
contract has been let to build addi
tional reservoirs at a cost of $50,000,
which will Increase the storage of wa
ter by 450 million gallons. Tho rain
fall record is analyzed, and on the sub
Ject of irrigation the manager con-
ciuues:
'With tho reservoirs now arranged
for and in process of construction we
will have a total capacity of 935 mil
lion gallons, so that tho system will
need to bo tilled only, say, four times
a year. When this large capacity
snau navo been reached, it Is our con
fident expectation that we will bo prac
tically independent of tho pumps In
any ordinary year; though they will
always be very valuable as a safeguard
against unusually dry weather."
The Crops.
Manager Stodart says the crop of
1900-1901 amounted to 33S9 tons of
sugar, exceeding tho estimate by S3
tons. The crop now being harvested
he estimates at 8458 tons. That for
1903 Is placed at 12.111 tons and. with
the Intention ot planting this year
about 1200 acres, the yield for the fol
lowing year Is figured at not far short
of 15,000 tons from, the new cano
and ratoons.
Tho now mill at Wahlawa, put In
operation on October 8, 1901, has don-.'
good work, but owing to shortage ot
crystallzcrs and lack of power for the
water driven centrifugals, its ouput
had not been more than 'soventy-flvo
tons a day as tho maximum. In Feb
ruary this year tho average extraction
had reached 94.07 per cent.
In conclusion tho manager recounts
the Initial difficulties that had ben
surmounted, mentioning the fact that
the company bought the greater por
tion of Its lands outright, closing with
theso words'
"With merely a nominal ront to pay
(what wo pay Is largely offset by whit
wo collect), with light pumping bills,
with direct transportation to and from
tho Coast nt Honolulu rates and our
own railway from tho mill to the har
bor, with good and substantial cane

As Republican Candidate
From the Fourth

ANSWER RECEIVED BY

.....-"lii
Meeting of District Committee Called
By Chairman Gear For. 10
o'clock Tomorrow Morn

Every member of the Fourth District
Committee of tho Republican party
should be In headquarters at 10 o'clock
sharp tomorrow (Saturday) morning
for the purpose of attending to the Im
portant business of nominating a can
didate from the Fourth District to run
for tho Bent In the House of Repre
sentatives left vacant by the death 'if
Archibald Gllflllan. This Is a very Im
portant matter, as tomorrow Is tho last
day that an 'application can bu Med
on this Island.
The sub-committee of the Fourth
District Commltteo has been busy for
three weeks trying to get a candidate
to run on the Republican side and until
yesterday afternoon It looked very
much ns If their search would ho 111
vain, for thcro did not seem to be any
disposition whatever on the part ot
the man to accept the nomination:
Yesterday, however, the sky brlgiil-
ened and the three men who canstltuto
the nub-committee found that nt last
there was a probability of a candldata.
This morning the sky cleared still fur-1
ther and at a little after 11 o clock
there was n meeting of the sub-com
mittee In headquarters. i
I. D. McVeigh, one ot tho members,
of the committee, reported that ho
had seen W. W, Harris of the firm if I
i.ewers & looue unu mat no uaa, alter
mature consideration, consented to bo!
tne nominee of the Republican paity-j
This action on the part ot Mr. Harris!
takes a great load oft the shoulders ot ,
the members of the Republican party
who felt all along that a death-blow '
would surely be dealt tho prestlgo of,
the party should there bu a failure to)
put up a candidate.
Mr. narrls was Been this afternoon
by a Uulletln reporter anil asked to
say something nhout his acceptance of
the nomination, luese arc his statu-'
ments
"I wbb first asked to run yesterday
nnd took the matter under advisement
until today. This morning, I gave my
answer to the xub-commlttco of the

Lo the worst kind of policy to sta'id
still nnd let the coming special elec
Hon go by default. It Republicans will
Just gel In and do their duty, there is
ho uoubl whatever In my mind that wt
can carry the Fourth District.
"Lveryono knows the ulatform and
principles of the Republican party nnd
every goou uopuullcan knows what
they mean. If occasion arises ho
should carry them out to the letter.
This Is my belief. A man should not
be altogether hedged In by the differ
ences of opinion that havo arisen. A
mans Judgment should bo exercised
ot tho proper time.
"in the case of questions arising that
cause differences of opinion among dif
ferent members of the party, a person
should he left considerably to his own
luugmcnt.
"First and foremost, I nm always for
good government and I think that the
Republican party stands for good gov
ernment. Such being tho case, I r.m
willing to submit to any ot tho Incon
veniences that may bo brought upon
me by my action In accepting the nom
ination of tho Republican party, fcr
the sake of tho welfare of that party.
"Every good Republican has certain
rlghlfl and privileges, but he should, In
my opinion, never lose sight of tho
iv

perform. One of these duties is to get
In and work for the party as a whole
